The problem
A brand-new app with no audience anywhere.
- Why now
- Launch had to start from nothing.
- What success meant
- A store rank and downloads at a cost the founder could keep paying.
Objective
Primary objective
Downloads
Supporting metrics
- US App Store rank
- Cost per install
What Plutus did
Creator system
Recruited and managed creators for a faith audience.
Testing system
Launched 234 posts across hooks and formats.
Optimization system
Kept posting the formats that landed.
The learning
The biggest lesson was that a few strong posts can carry a launch: 234 posts averaged about 104K views each. This gave the founder enough confidence to bring his second app, Toxic Traits.
What happened next
The founder brought his second app, Toxic Traits.
